“LA MOSTRA ACCORDING TO US”
The stars and directors of the third day of the Festival explain the films and atmospheres that brought them to the Lido
Emma was involved from the very beginning. I started talking to her about the film while making The Favourite. She was enthusiastic about the character and wanted to be updated as much as possible. Since then, I have kept her abreast of all the development, who she would be working with, where and how. This also helped her performance since she had the idea of the character in her mind for a long time. And when the time came, she was ready. She had assimilated everything.
(Yorgos Lanthimos, director of Poor Things, on leading lady Emma Stone)
It was interesting to give life to a man focused on one goal and ready to do anything to achieve it. He is a person who wants to be part of something he hates. I find it a complex and very human story. Nikolaj Arcel [the director] and I became friends ten years ago on the set of Royal Affair. When we started this new project, we started from scratch and dove into the plot.
(Mads Mikkelsen, star of Bastarden).
I love Roal Dahl’s works. I grew up reading them and falling in love with them. I was lucky enough to meet his family members at the time of the making of Mr. Fox, and even then, I dreamed of directing an adaptation of Henry Sugar, which has always been my favourite of his stories.
(Wes Anderson, director of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar)
Italy is not an easy country for a woman; it can be dangerous. The Montesi case in 1953 marked when Italy lost its innocence and empathy for the victim. It was an archetype: every time similar events happen today, I see the image of Wilma Montesi’s dead body again.
(Saverio Costanzo, director of Before Sunrise)
I wanted to tell the story of the emancipation of two siblings born into a sick, toxic, dysfunctional family. There are those in life who manage to emancipate themselves right away, there are maybe those who emancipate themselves in their forties, fifties, and there are those who never emancipate themselves. It is a difficult path.
(Micaela Ramazzotti, director and actress of Happiness)
